After a 2 and a half hour drive north of Sydney, I arrived at Newcastle with my fellow interns/protege film student Thuy Ng and tourism student Ok Chop. Its been a while since Rumble Pictures had a Maximum Choppage: Round 2 screening and this time, I was contacted by Adam Clough via You Tube to see if an event like this could happen.
Adam has always been a action film buff and have been keeping tabs on film movements over the course of his life so when he heard about "Maximum Choppage: Round 2", a film that holds the title for Australia's Urban Action Martial Arts adventure, Clough quickly took that chance to grapple an opportunity for a screening and an opportunity to inspire other young hopefuls in to areas of film.
Newscastle is much more scenic than the hustle and bustle of Sydney. It is the second most populated city in the state of New South Wales, Australia and is the largest coal exporting harbour in the world.
Back to the screening, with a intimate group of viewers, Maximum Choppage: Round 2 is able to be played once again on the big screen. Unfortunately Timothy Ly wasn't able to make it, but his youth, spirit, innovation can be felt throughout the film. I must admit, the film itself is a good piece of collaborative dynamo and I'm glad to be involved in such a fine piece of work that hasn't lost its appeal to inspire others.
Here's some snappies of the event.
Shout out to Adam Clough for coordinating the screening and my lovely intern/ protege Thuy and Ok for accompanying me to the event and bearing with my shoddy manual driving skills.
